    Elegy Poem for Bo (from Louis)

    Elegy for Bo.

    Beat keep chugging like the train,
    one an two an it's going round again.

    Dark glasses shades, keep the vibe
    in your hat
    delivering your music, we'll all
    dance to that.
    Love was the message
    ev'ry time you'd play and sing, repeats in our memories that's what
    you bring.


    Happy trails Bo,

    Louis

    Man, another one who helped the transition from blues, to pop, to rock.

    I miss them 12 bar blues!
